Simple System Blue Bag Grass Pellets – 20kg High Fibre Grass Nuts

Simple System Blue Bag Grass Pellets – 20kg

Simple System make three grass pellets, and the difference between them comes down to when the grass was cut. Blue Bag is the summer grazing equivalent — harvested to give the feeding value of good summer grass, sitting between the mature, high-fibre HayCare below it and the richer spring-cut Red Bag above.

The result is a 6mm pellet with high-quality fibre and moderate protein: enough to keep condition on a horse in light to medium work, without the energy that tips a Thoroughbred or a sharp native over the edge. Starch sits below 0.5%, which is about as low as a bagged feed gets.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% naturally grown grass, free from binders, cereals, molasses, soya and additives.
• Harvested as the summer grazing equivalent — the benefits of good summer grass, all year round.
• Very low starch at under 0.5%, and lower protein than the spring-cut Red Bag.
• High-quality fibre supporting digestive health and gut function.
• Can be fed soaked, or mixed with soaked PuraBeet or a Simple System chop.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies in light to medium work.
• Improving condition and maintaining weight.
• Thoroughbreds and horses needing a controlled fibre diet.
• Foals, greedy eaters, and elderly or dentally challenged horses — when soaked.

Feeding

• Introduce gradually over a week, as with any new feed.
• Ideally fed soaked, using 2.5 times their volume of water. Alternatively, mix with soaked PuraBeet or a Simple System chop and dampen well.
• For foals, greedy, elderly or dentally challenged horses, the pellets must be soaked.
• Start with 100g per 100kg bodyweight per day, dry weight before soaking — 500g daily for a 500kg horse.
• Increase as required, up to a maximum of 5kg per day.
• A level Stubbs bowl scoop holds approximately 1.5kg dry weight.
• For an economical hay replacer with very low sugar and starch, soak two parts Blue Bag to one part PuraBeet.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: dried grass. 20kg bag.
• Crude protein 8–14%. Crude fibre 25–30%. Sugar under 11%. Starch under 0.5%.
• Simple System avoid ryegrass entirely, preferring naturally lower-sugar grasses such as fescue, Timothy and mixed native species.
• No vitamins are added; the forage carries them naturally. Seasonal variation occurs and each bag details the batch analysis.
